Nicknamed "Nexusstrike" because of the opinon of most that it is a horrible weapon.

Well, it really is. At least you get Nexus Crystals from it.

We call it "Vendorstrike". We once invited a Chinese Farmer into our guild, and he got it (no joke!). True story, he actually kept it. Good for Chinese farmers, bad for everyone else.

I picked it up soley to have a purple polearm to level my skill with. Yay for excess DKP.

Be aware that if you change to Thunderstrike with an Enchant, it gets 'unenchanted'.

Comment by Nolimit

This thing is completely useless, we always disenchanted it :S

Comment by tyriall123

An item i recommend not getting lol. AKA the Vendorstrike, this item brings nothing at all. Complete trash. There are many better items that you can get and just as easy if not easier to obtain.

Comment by izlude

It was long known as Venderstrike (untill the addition of nexus crystals to the game.) then changed to Nexusstrike. DEd for its crystal as it is one of the few epics under level 60 to drop in MC (some FR pants too.) i have seen an alt take it before.

also note that despite what rockcruncher says the bug with enchanting has been fixed as of 1.10 patch.

This is probably one of the worst polerarms out there. No stats, bad dps, and bad proq. The only good thign about it is you get a nexus crystal from disenchanting it.

Comment by humungus

I remember a few of these dropping way back in the day, all the good players would groan or make a joke but there was always some noob who would get really excited about it and would just be dying to spend some dkp on this thing.

Sometimes it was even a hunter /facepalm

By the time I bought all my gear in MC I decided to start saving items from being sharded. This was the first thing I bought. I think I got unholy enchant on it and ran around in a deepdive helm with my dragonstalker leggings on claming to be King of the Sea... good times.

According to my calculations, this weapon is approximately useless.

Comment by kylastarmoon

Heh, Used to see this drop, was always a ret pala taking it ^^Had a 9 year old kid who got his pala from his brother when his bro quit, he got this polearm on his first raid, you should have heard him in Teamspeak xD

I love how swapping forms has a 1 min cooldown. If I could spam it I would just sit in IF and change forms to amuse myself.

Comment by Siralex

Titan's Grip, yes? I think I have found the one true use for this formerly-completely-useless-item. Obviously the only way something useless can become useful is when you pair it with something equally useless.Dual Wield Shadowstrike and Thunderstrike (FTW)^69

No but really, its still and always will be a piece of garbage.

To bad u cant duel wield Polearms.

Comment by whatsupthere

Has a proc chance of around 10% since no one else has posted it. (what i got from hitting things with it, and not counting misses etc)

Comment by Matti

Remember to transform Thunderstrike back to this before selling it, because the vendor pays 12 silver and 96 copper more for Shadowstrike.

Comment by bradb

The only thing this shadow can strike is a vendor's hands

Comment by ahlex

I can't see how this was totally useless back in pre-BC. The DPS on it is better then most of the blue weapons you would have before MC.

Comment by darkwarrior42

Ok, useful as a serious weapon? not so much.

But is anyone else wondering why spell power affects the proc? When I use it on my holy pally, the proc hits for about 1700 (and I heal for the same amount, before divinity).

...bears and cats want different enchantsMongoose is still the best enchant in the game for bears and to the extent of my knowledge not entirely terrible for cats. So it's fine for people like me whose cat sets are mostly built from regemmed hand-me-downs.

Comment by TheTacomaster

This dropped today while I was dragging my warrior through to get him the T1 I've owed him for the last five years, and when Vendorstrike hit the floor after the Harbinger, I snatched it up and slapped Mongoose on it as Shadowstrike.

Moral of the story, wasting money is fun.

Comment by ernicusmaximus

It dropped for me today in a farming expidition. I chanted with with +26 agi and I wear it when questing. Yeah, 'cause it looks cool.

I swap it back out on dungeon runs. ;-)

Comment by Boomisan

Tried to sell it to Edna Mullby after a rep-grind today, and she told me to get lost.

True story. :(

Comment by kaexo

I wonder how this will work with 4.3 transmorging. Will it transmorg into whichever version of the pole-arm is active?
